Hillbillyhousewife.com has changed hands

It's the same content, but owned by someone else and being updated.

Interestingly, Maggie, the former owner, has a new site here: Frugal Abundance and has switched to being a pescatarian (vegetarian, plus seafood). She has some good articles that resounded with me, especially the one about organics and how we all wish we could eat them exclusively. She's very Christian, but the information is good regardless of religion.

Oh, thank you for the info and link!

DH and I are thinking this is where we are headed to - pescatarians.

oh, wow! Thanks for the link! I loved her old site, but really couldn't use the recipes for the most part. This new stuff looks great - I can't wait to try the seitan chicken recipe.

Cool! Thanks for the link to her new site.

OT a bit: I'm sorry but pescatarian just reminds me of Jim Gaffigan: "I'm not a strict vegetarian. I do eat beef and pork. But not fish 'cause that's disgusting!"

I honestly don't think pescatarian deserves its own "category." You eat meat, eggs and dairy, get over it. Fish are not some lesser life form that's more acceptable to eat than a pig or cow. (I know pescatarians are sometimes doing it for health not ethical reasons, though I do have some veggie friends who call themselves vegetarian but have the occasional piece of fish. Still...I don't know why, the idea of it being its own category seems smug to me.)

I am vegan and I think that its own category is fine.

Absolutely. I was trying to come up with an equally tongue-in cheek reply but I was afraid it wouldn't translate properly in message board language

Thanks for sharing her new site....I knew that the HBHW site had a different "feel" than it used to (not for the better OR worse, just different, kwim?), so I wondered if it had changed hands!

Kerri,

Thanks for the link.

I added in the occasional seafood (only if we are stuck eating out) and fish (sometimes at home)....I did not think there was a category within the vegetarian world for folks like me who were 95% strict vegetarian but with the occasional fish/seafood/dairy.

I will bookmark that page!

Michelle

funny story-

I shared the hillbillyhousewife link on Freecycle about a year ago, and well, I learned AFTER someone replied with "you are a pervert, how dare you post that on a public board" that if you don't add a blackslash after.com, it directs you to a porn site.....



anyway, i bookmarked the new site and thanks.

what title can I have? I eat eggs and fish.... can I have my own, like, vegan plus 2 sins? hahahaha
